Small Wonder

One plus to this very strange week is that we've had some more time together as a family after a hectic few weeks of travel and socializing.

In the mornings, Will takes over from me at around 6:30 so that I can get a few more hours of sleep while he takes the baby out for a walk and waits for the coffee shops to open.

Axel is particularly fun at the moment and is busily acquiring more skills, like baby push ups, wobbling around in his Bumbo seat, and mouthing along the words to the Star Spangled Banner, one of the only songs I can seem to remember all the words to. He is also a big fan of lying in his twin bed and watching his globe mobile careening about in the breeze.

His blonde fluff is growing in straight so that it looks like he has a baby buzz cut, and his dark blue eyes seem to be turning a little grey-green at the centers. He is starting to seem less like a newborn and more like a "baby," with a hint of the little boy to come.

About Me

For the past 14 years, I've lived in New York and worked for various magazines and newspapers as a freelance editor and writer. I live in Williamsburg, where I enjoy skulking around cafes, walking down to the waterfront, and marveling at the Portlandia-ness of it all. In August of 2012 we added our son Axel to the clan. In March of 2014, Oscar was born, and in December, 2015, Balthazar joined the family. We are still doing our best to travel the globe and make adventures out of the every day in Brooklyn.
